In a recent interview with Variety<\/a>, legendary actress Sally Field slammed pro-life legislation and those creating and signing the bills into law. Field called the laws \u201ccriminal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

“I cannot be responsible for what I would do,\u201d she said, referring to how she might react if she ever met Governor Greg Abbott (R-Texas) or Governor Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) face to face.\u00a0<\/span>While Field insisted she is an activist \u201conly to a degree,\u201d she continued speaking out against pro-life laws, The Blaze\u00a0reported<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Variety got personal with the \u2018Norma Rae\u2019 actress, asking, “In your autobiography, you wrote about going to Tijuana when you were 17 to get an abortion. What do you think of these abortion bans in Texas and other states like Florida?”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Those men who are doing that, and they’re mostly male governors who are doing it, are so backward, so ignorant and really just power-hungry. I think it’s criminal,\u201d Field answered.\u00a0<\/span>“They’re so wanting to roll back the achievements and important progress for women, for Blacks, for the LGBTQ community,” Field opined. “I can’t say enough horrible things about what I feel about those men.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“If you see them coming toward me, those two governors specifically, lead me out of the way because I cannot be responsible for what I would do,\u201d she continued. “… do you hear me? Lead me away.”<\/span><\/p>\n

It appears that Field is threatening violence against pro-life legislators, much like Planned Parenthood president Alexis McGill Johnson recently suggested as a reasonable idea<\/a>. But the real violence is abortion itself:<\/p>\n
